Evelyn-- 4 & 5 Months

Was it not just yesterday Evelyn was born??? You blink and 5 months have passed. It reminds me that it could get so easy to waste your life doing things that don't matter... but pursuing the Lord and being faithful in spreading His good news is what matters. I love sharing christ with Evelyn, I know and believe the Holy Spirit is already working in her heart and preparing her for a life that's not wasted... So in 50 years, I see Evelyn serving the Lord whole-heartidly.

Remember this little nugget? Ya, she grew fast. WAY TOO FAST.

This sweet girl has brought so much joy to her daddy and me.

4 Months Old (forgot to post last month... so we have lots to catch up on!!)

At four months,

Evelyn:

• Moved into a new home (in KY)

Our new home!!

We live on a street with "Pear" in it... so this dress was appropriate!

• Still spits up... quite a bit :)

• Still loves to cuddle (especially the last 10 minutes before a nap/bedtime)

• Got a bouncer and is SO OBSESSED. Happy as can be bouncing. She sometimes jumps for over an hour!

• Drools and bites everything...just waiting for a tooth to come on out!

• LOVES playing with her feet.

• Loves taking walks

• and falling asleep during them....

• LOVES TO TALK. 96% of her awake time is her talking. I love it. She is a social butterfly already!!!!!!!!!!!

• Has such a FUN personality. This girl is going to keep me entertained during her toddler years. Start praying for me... teenage years should be interesting (JKJK)

Month four was fun.

Evelyn has me laughing everyday! I love her so much. I just can never get enough of those chubby cheeks, big ol brown eyes, and big ol thighs. She is the sweetest little cuddle bug I have ever been around. So thankful I get to be her mother.
